The Etna returns to influence the air traffic in SicilyThe presence of volcanic ash and the direction of the winds have pushed Sac, the management company of Catania airport, to extend the closure of sector C1. Until 23:59 PM di today, Monday 28 September, I am therefore all incoming and outgoing flights suspended from Fontanarossa airport.
The decision was made to ensure the safety of air operations, given the presence of volcanic ash in the atmosphere. The suspension could result in delays, cancellations, and rescheduling of flights scheduled for the coming hours, with possible repercussions on subsequent flights.
For those who have to leave or reach Catania by plane, the advice is therefore to check the status of their flight directly with the airline beforehand and not to go to the airport without having checked for any changes.
